EditGAN takes AI-driven image editing to the next level by providing high levels of accuracy while not sacrificing image quality.
The desire to edit photos of cats, cars, or even antique paintings, has never been more accessible thanks to a generative adversarial network (GAN) model called EditGAN. The work—from NVIDIA, the University of Toronto, and MIT researchers—builds off DatasetGAN, an Artificial Intelligence vision model that can be trained with as few as 16 human-annotated images and performs as effectively as other methods that require 100x more images. EditGAN takes the power of the previous model and empowers the user to edit or manipulate the desired image with simple commands, such as drawing, without compromising the original image quality.
What is EditGAN?
According to the paper: “EditGAN is the first GAN-driven image-editing framework, which simultaneously offers very high-precision editing, requires very little annotated training data (and does not rely on external classifiers), can be run interactively in real time, allows for straightforward compositionality of multiple edits, and works on real embedded, GAN-generated, and even out-of-domain images.”
The model learns a specific number of editing vectors, which can be applied to an image interactively. Essentially, it forms an intuitive understanding of the images and their content, which can then be leveraged by users for specific modifications and editing. The model learns from similar images and recognizes different components and specific parts of the objects inside the images. A user can utilize this for targeted modifications of the different subparts or for editing within specific areas. Because of how precise the model is, the image is not distorted outside of the parameters set by the user.
Figure 1. EditGAN in action, the AI trained in the model allows the user to make, sometimes dramatic, changes to the original image.
“The framework allows us to learn an arbitrary number of editing vectors, which can then be directly applied on other images at interactive rates.” The researchers explained in their study. “We experimentally show that EditGAN can manipulate images with an unprecedented level of detail and freedom while preserving full image quality. We can also easily combine multiple edits and perform plausible edits beyond EditGAN’s training data. We demonstrate EditGAN on a wide variety of image types and quantitatively outperform several previous editing methods on standard editing benchmark tasks.”
From adding smiles, changing the direction someone is looking, creating a new hairstyle, or giving a car a nicer set of wheels, the researchers show just how intrinsic the model can be with minimal data annotation. The user can draw a simple sketch or mask corresponding to the desired editing and guides the AI model to realize the modification, such as bigger cat ears or cooler headlights on a car. The AI then renders the image while maintaining a very high level of accuracy and maintaining the quality of the original image. Afterwards, the same edit can be applied to other images in real-time.
Figure 2. An example of the pixels assigned to different parts of the image. The AI recognizes the different areas and can make edits based on human input.
How does this GAN work?
EditGAN assigns each pixel of the image to a category, such as a tire, windshield, or car frame. These pixels are controlled within the AI latent space and based on the input of the user, who can easily and flexibly edit those categories. EditGAN manipulates only those pixels associated with the desired change. The AI knows what each pixel represents based on other images used in training the model, so you could not attempt to add cat ears to a car with accurate results. But when used within the correct model, EditGAN is a phenomenal tool that provides exceptional image editing results.
Figure 3. EditGAN can train on a variety of classes of imagery, from animals to environments, forming a detailed understanding of their content.
EditGAN’s potential
AI-driven photo and image editing have the potential to streamline the workflow of photographers and content creators and to enable new levels of creativity and digital artistry. EditGAN also enables novice photographers and editors to produce high-quality content, along with the occasional viral meme.
“This AI may transform how we edit photos and perhaps eventually video. It allows someone to take an image and alter it by using simple text commands. If you have a photo of a car and you want to make the wheels bigger, just type “make wheels bigger,” and poof!—there’s a completely photorealistic picture of the same car with bigger wheels.” – Fortune magazine
EditGAN may also be used for other important applications in the future. For example, EditGAN’s editing capabilities could be utilized to create large image datasets with certain characteristics. Such specific datasets can be useful when training downstream machine-learning models on different computer vision tasks.
Furthermore, the EditGAN framework may impact the development of future generations of GANs. While the present version of EditGAN focuses on image editing, similar methods could potentially be used to edit 3D shapes and objects, which would be useful when creating virtual 3D content for games, movies, or the metaverse.

I have 10k+ documents which belong either to class 0 or 1. I want to train a model by feeding it each sentence in a document through a textvectorize layer ➡️ embedding layer ➡️ lstm layer Then concat all lstm layers for each sentence feed them to 1 dense layer with outputsize of 128 ➡️ dense layer outputsize of 1 with softmax as activation.
Number of sentences in each document is somewhere between 0 and 5000. Each sentence has between 1-5 words.
I have managed to create a model for predicting which class a sentence most likely belong to. But i want to basically extend it to take all sentences from an exampledocument for classifying entire document. Each sentence is not related to the other.
While trying to run the training code for my model, the following error happens:

OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long
Initially I installed it using pip but my CPU does not have AVX support. A solution to this that I found online is that if you build tensorflow from source, it will somehow work around this. However I started the compilation this morning at 10am… now it’s 6PM and it’s still going… my computer is literally just a repurposed office machine so it is not the most powerful but this seems way too long, is this normal?
Does anyone have a favorite pretrained TF LITE Model for general image classifications? I have a database of a few thousands images and I’d like to add tags to them. Any .tflite that also has a .txt file for labeling would work. Would like for the image classification to be as broad and accurate as possible (obviously I’m asking for a lot here). Thanks for the help!
